Barcelona have reportedly agreed to offer Ivan Rakitic lucrative new terms on his contract to keep him at the club amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain.

According to Marca's Luis F. Rojo, Barca have moved to ward off interest from the Parisian outfit, despite Rakitic putting pen to paper on an extension last year, and it seems he'll receive a pay rise as part of their bid to keep him.

The Croatian is said to want to stay put at the Camp Nou, so PSG's only option if they're determined to sign him this summer is to meet his €125 million (£112 million) buyout clause.
